Start from a template — and publish your own

Hans Ade

The hardest part of any project is often the first five minutes: choosing a framework, wiring the toolchain, getting something on screen. Templates delete that friction. Instead of describing a project from nothing, you pick a starting point that already looks and works the way you want, then steer from there.

A starter for every framework

The gallery ships 6+ hand-built templates for each web framework — React, Vue, Svelte, Vite, Next.js, Nuxt, Angular, and fullstack — plus blank scaffolds when you truly want a clean slate. Each is responsive, comes in light and dark, and has its own distinct identity, so you’re not starting from the same grey boilerplate everyone else uses.

  • Browse in-app from New Project, or on the public /templates page.
  • Hit “Use template” and PiPilot creates the project, merging the framework scaffold under the template so it’s buildable immediately.
  • Refine by chatting, exactly as you would any project.

Publish your own

Built something worth reusing? Publish it as a community template so others can start from it. A Community tab in the gallery surfaces what other builders have shared, and a “Write with AI” button drafts your template’s description from its own project and design docs — so listing a template takes seconds, not paragraphs.

Open the gallery, pick a starter that fits, and build from a running head start — then share the result as a template of your own.
